Construction is finally kicking off on a $1.2 billion Los Angeles-inspired residential, lifestyle and retail precinct on Brisbane’s riverfront, 14 years after the developer bought the site.
Wentworth Equities executive chairman Sameh Ibrahim said the sod turn will be a landmark moment for not only his project but also the precinct.
“We couldn’t be more excited to officially be putting shovel to soil at Hamilton Grove,” Mr Ibrahim said.
“We’ve held this site for 14 years and to turn dirt is a momentous milestone, following years of meticulous planning for how we could bring a precinct of such calibre to life in Brisbane.”
Contractor Mainland Civil is on site, adding Hamilton Grove to their extensive portfolio alongside Brisbane developments including Queens Wharf, 300 George Street, Infinity Tower and 1 William Street.
“The significance of this development is historic, which means that our vision for design and delivery has had to be infallible,” Mr Ibrahim said.
“It’s very easy to say that a development will set a new standard but in the case of Hamilton Grove we truly will do just that.
“We have reimagined the concept of apartment living to design residences that offer the space, comfort and character that could previously only be found in a suburban home.”
Construction is finally kicking off on a $1.2 billion Hamilton Grove.
The Queensland Government is investing $154 million in infrastructure development to support growth in the Hamilton Northshore PDA which is projected to inject more than $14 billion into the Queensland economy once completed.
Hamilton Grove launched in April with buyers snapping up apartments in the first three towers.
Planning is underway for future stages and a five-star hotel.
“Though the precinct and hotel will ensure that Hamilton Grove has something to be explored by visitors from across the city and beyond, the centrepiece of the development will be the sky homes, which will introduce a new echelon of luxury living not yet seen in the Brisbane market,” Mr Ibrahim said.
